Well, for the past week and more I've been working on something religiously. When I first came on the internet (three years ago) I originally visited a message board about football, then I came across one on broad subjects. It was based on a video game site but the board was open to everything. Overwhelming is the only word I can use. I've always been a shy guy but I can say this brought me out of my shell. A post every second. Seriously. You could be typing a reply, and three people would reply before you. It was insanely popular and a great experience. Slowly, the management turned. They started becoming dictators, controlling everything. If they didn't like a topic, they'd delete it. No reason. Real jerks. I vowed to myself that one day I'd have a board where everyone was free to speak their mind and was open to suggestions. A board of the people. At the time, the board I was visiting used UBB, a paid service. At this tender and ill informed age, I thought it was a pipe dream. It wasn't until I became firm in my HTML confidence and general web knowledge that I ventured out to find a free message board. Well, I found Ikonboard. It was complicated for me at the time, so I went back to dreaming... finally, I got up the nerve to just dive into it head first! So baby... step back, because I did it!!! I made a board! Of course, I've had EZBoards. But they've never captured the feeling of an Ikonboard, UBB, or VBulletin service. So now, I'm finally able to put that chapter behind me. I did it. And it's this:

Now, I know it seem like all the other boards on the market. Well, I don't give a hoot. So please, no one needs to tell me it might fail. I just don't care. I want to do this, even if I end up with a useless board taking up space.
I'd appreciate if everyone would visit but they don't have to. More than anything, I just wanted to let people know what I've been doing for the last week or two. I've kind of dropped off the radar, I know. Well, I'll be coming back to RPing soon! As soon as I get up enough time to actually do something. I know, I know, I have a lot of RPs going on right now. I'll post in them tomorrow. It's late and I'm dead tired. But it feels good to have this out there. I hope atleast someone could take the time to tell me how it looks. :)
